“Thank you, my lord! I’ll do my best!” Ciger thanked Lumi again.
“Work on increasing your strength. Right now, how much do you think you can help me?
“You’re too weak. Tell me when you’re strong enough.” Lumi left after the reminder.
It thought it had won Ciger to its side and was very confident about it.
However, Ciger smirked when Lumi was gone. “Do my best? In its dreams!
!!
“The only one I’m helping is myself!” Ciger only cared about himself and didn’t believe a word Lumi said.
He only behaved himself because Lumi had the power to help him recover. The fruit was key to the recovery and improvement of his cultivation.
Once Ciger was strong enough and Lumi couldn’t offer him any help, he would kick it away without hesitation.
The law of nature?
So what?
He wasn’t stupid. The law of nature was a set of rules. Could it grow conscious and take a human form?
Obviously not!
If that was possible, the law of nature in the Dusk Soul Forest would have lost control a long time ago.
Lumi was capable enough to use the law of nature’s power, but it was definitely not the law of nature itself.
Ciger had been observing Lumi in secret since it was revived. As time passed, he was certain that Lumi wasn’t the real law of nature.
Therefore, he wasn’t genuinely helping Lumi.
“I’ll improve my capability first.” Ciger closed his eyes.
Meanwhile, Lumi was making its own plans.
The poisonous mad dog and Ciger were only two of its means. It had been around for so long that one couldn’t imagine how many backup plans it had.
Lumi bit its lip.
“Gina!” It muttered that name.
Lumi had told Himmel Soan that it hadn’t had any dealings with her, but it was lying.
None of that was true.
Lumi had dealt with Gina before and hated her to the core.
It came to Gina back then and told her the same thing as Himmel Soan.
However, Gina never agreed to its request and even sabotaged some of its plans. She nearly destroyed all its means against the law of nature.
If Gina hadn’t paid much attention to the dog, she would have gotten rid of him, too.
“After Gina, there’s Himmel Soan. This time, I won’t spare anyone!” Lumi said bitterly.
It was determined to make Himmel Soan pay the price.
Lumi believed it was going to be the only law of nature in the future and would punish anybody who had lied to it.
It would be time to settle the account!
Lumi even blamed Himmel Soan for what Gina had done.
Himmel Soan would have been amazed if he knew this. It wasn’t even his fault!
“Wood, Soil, you’ve been asleep for too long. It’s time to wake up!
“Phoeny!
“Ostrat!
“Mongey!
“It’s time for you ancient beasts to see this world!”
Lumi came to the west border of Dusk Soul Forest. There was a square black stone with a mysterious pattern on it. It put its hand on the pattern while speaking.
“Don’t bother. I’m so sleepy and tired. I don’t want to get involved!”
“Soil, that’s not what you said before!” Lumi’s tone changed.
However, there was no reply. The creature seemed to have fallen asleep again.
Lumi sighed.
Soil was the soil element in this world and an abnormality like Lumi.
It was the same way with Wood.
The three creatures had made an agreement that they would become the real thing together.
Lumi would replace the law of nature, Wood would replace the wood element, and Soil would replace the soil element.
That was one of Lumi’s plans.
However, Soil was backing out now.
“Soil, have you forgotten about our agreement? What about you, Wood?” Lumi asked.
Without their help, it would be very difficult for Lumi to replace the law of nature. Hence, its tone became humbler than before.
“Wood has wiped off his mind and integrated himself with the wood element again.
“After some careful consideration, I think I’m going to make the same choice.
“I’m still here because I wanted to tell you in person. I used to be a part of the soil element, so why don’t I return to that state?” Soil spoke slowly, sounding tired.
It was as if his voice would trail off at any moment.
Lumi was dumbfounded. What Soil said meant it probably had to fight the battle on its own. What a betrayal!
“Why?
“Why won’t you replace the soil element?
“You’ve gone through so much to grow a mind. Why do you want to wipe it out?
“You could become a conscious soil element!
“Why did you betray me?”
Lumi couldn’t understand it. It believed it could succeed with Soil and Wood’s help. However, both of them made that stupid choice.
“A conscious soil element? Does that still count as the soil element? I don’t think you’ll understand,” said Soil.
“One last thing: you can’t become a conscious law of nature even if the current one collapses.” Soil’s voice grew weaker and weaker until it vanished.
Soil wiped off his mind and integrated with the original soil element.
Lumi was disappointed and couldn’t wrap its head around their choice. However, the only thing to do was to accept reality.
“I shouldn’t have put my hopes on others. I’m not afraid!
“What about you three ancient beasts?” Lumi asked.
Phoeny, Ostrat, and Mongey had heard the whole conversation. They knew Lumi’s plan from the beginning.
“Why bother asking us?
“We never had a choice!
“You chose to wake us up now. Do you think it’s time?”
The three beasts asked. They belonged to another era. As soon as they showed their faces, they would be repelled by this world.
The longer they stuck around, the stronger the repellent force. Therefore, they couldn’t stay outside all the time.
